Here it is, finally: a digital hub for the rollerblading scene in Detroit; an online spotlight for blading in the D. It’s well-deserved and long overdue. While a blog and forum may be nothing fancy in itself, and we’ve still got a couple things to tweak and corners to glue down, this is a good start; the future will bring more soon enough.
Content will be king here- DetroitRolling will not be one of those fancy-looking sites with three updates a year: nor will it be an ugly site crowded with p-rail edits and photos of every trick at every session. Another thing we won’t do here is what it seems every other scene everywhere does in this situation, and boast of having omg, like, the best scene everrr.
Not because we don’t think that’s true- quite the opposite- but because, in the weeks and months and years to come. we’d rather let the content on the site demonstrate it by itself. Many of you reading this are the rollerbladers of Detroit: you probably won’t need much convincing. For those from elsewhere, I know we can at least make a strong case.
Either way- local or not- stay tuned. Some of the best things on wheels out of Detroit aren’t cars.
